Check out the doc section at the top I am sure there is something in there. Just remember that connecting dial up is connecting dial up. The protocol is the same and you should already know the basic stuff. Post back if you get stuck.
Plus, since the LQ.org community will be more than happy to help you prehaps you'll devulge what company you work for. I would be interested to know what isp's are going forward with Linux support. I may switch.
i appreciate the links, though the customer i am trying to reach is of course not home. i have sent the link to other techs and my supervisors so that we can at least have an idea of to get mandrake users started with dial up. though we rarely to never get linux calls, i think we should be able to help with the basics.
I had trouble with establishing dial-up with Mandrake 9.0 as well. The best advice I could offer is to not use Mandrake Control Centre; it doesn't seem to complete all the bits that need to be done. I used LinuxConf to configure the network and ppp, then it all started working after that. I knew nothing other than how to start LinuxConf and was able to steer through the dialogs.
